Voice of America, cited 72
passages from “Roots” that he
believed Haley copied from
“The African.”
Some of the passages
showed strong similarities in
wordings. In others the
wording was different, but
Courlander’s lawyers charged
the ideas conveyed were the
same.
Here are two examples:
From “The African”:
‘“Perhaps no one here (aboard
the slave ship) will return. Yet
each day we shall have a
message from our country. The
sun rises in Africa and
whenever we see it we shall
remember the place of its daily
birth.’”
From “Roots”: ‘“Kunta felt
a special closeness to the sun
each time it rose. He recalled
what an old man... had said
down in the darkness of the big
canoe: ‘each day’s new sun will
remind us that it rose in our
Africa, which is the navel of
the earth.’”
From “The African”: “‘First

“There have been those who
we feel have attacked our
organization for political gain;
some have attacked it to foster
racism; and some believe that
our name suggests that other
ethnic groups are excluded
from our activities.
Therefore, our board of
directors, in the hope of
putting to rest all of these
narrow views, unanimously
voted to change the name of

sometimes word by word,
explaining why he chose a
particular word or phrase over
another.
Repeatedly, he had
answered the same question
put to him by his lawyer,
George Berger of Louis Nizer’s
firm, Phillips, Nizer, Benjamin,
Krim and Ballon.
“Mr. Haley, did you copy
that passage from ‘The
African,”’ Berger would ask.
“No,” Haley would reply,
his face expressionless. “I did
not.”
Outside of court, Haley
explained that he had not read
“The African,” because “when
I was doing my research I
stayed away from novels
entirely. I was looking for
factual material.”
He pointed out that
“Roots” was nearly twice as
long as “The African,” and
told a reporter during the trial
“If 1 copied all that stuff he
says I copied I would amount
to less than 1 percent of the
total of ‘Roots.’ But the whole
thing is absurd.”

“The next day we crossed
the Sea of Galilee and went
down to where the River
Jordan begins its flow.
RIVER JORDAN
At the River Jordan, Dr.
Cherry and the other cleric in
the group -a Rev. Humphries,
from Chicago - began chatting
jovially.
“Rev. Humphries asked me,
‘Do you feel what 1 feel?’
“I don’t know what you
feel. But I think I do feel what
you feel.
“He said, ‘I have just been
wanting to get here. I’d like to
be baptized in the Jordan.’
“I said, ‘Man, the way y’all
(Baptists) baptize... I’ll,baptize
you if someone will help me
hold you. But you are the one
that’s going in there with all
your clothes on.
‘ “But I’m Methodist;you can
baptize me. All you’ve got to
do is put it on my head.’ Then
he baptized me. We started off
jovially, but we were really
feeling it.
“By this time a large crowd
of blacks and whites had
gathered along the banks of the
river. We were the center of
attention.”
Mrs. Cherry picked up the
story: “Rev. Humphries said,
‘Rev. Cherry is going to lead us
in prayer. Everybody just
hushed. Fuzzy got off the bus,
came running down to the
river, took her shoes off, and
waded out into the water for
her pastor to baptize her.
“I knew they (the ministers)
were clowning at first, but
those people forced them back
into a more apostolic mood.”
“The crowd was waiting as if
‘What are y’all going to do?’
“I prayed,” Dr. Cherry said.
“Then we sang “Wade in the
Water,” “One More River to
Cross,” “Chilly and Cold, My
Lord Done Just What He
Said,” and “Every time I Feel
the Spirit I Will Pray.”
“I ended it with a prayer.
“By this time the folk were
just enthralled,” Mrs. Cherry
said.
The travel agents who do
this every day were caught up
in the spiritually of the thing.

FELT VIBRATIONS
The icing for the Cherrys
was at the Garden Tomb,
where Jesus is believed to have
been buried. “When I got out
there in the Garden Tomb, I
felt vibrations,” Dr. Cherry
recalled. “I kept thinking, ‘This
just might be the place.’ It’s a
feeling that you get. That was a
highpoint for me.”

has it that if you lean up
against the western wall (called
the Wailing Wall) of the old
city of Jerusalem and utter
prayers, God will hear them
immediately.
“So there are always throngs
of people there from all over
the world,” she continued.
“You can also write your
prayer on a little piece of paper
and stick it in the all. So the
wall is studded with little
scraps of paper where people
have stuffed their messages in
the cracks.
“I prayed and tried to put
my prayer in a crack and it
kept fading out. So I took it

that the Lord was rejecting it,
